Jessica Day is known for many things, including being a teacher, having a quirky personality, and her completely beautiful appearance. But on top of all of those unique and wonderful characteristics, she also is known for her fantastic outfits that she is seen parading around in on New Girl.
There were many great fashion moments over the course of the seven seasons for Jess Day, and it was difficult to pick our favorites, but we managed to narrow it down to the best of the best of Jess’ ensembles to ever be on New Girl. See if your favorite fashion moment of Jess Day’s made it on our list of Jess’ 10 Best Outfits on New Girl.
Wedding Date Outfit
When we first met Jessica Day, she was heartbroken and looking for a new place after finding her boyfriend cheating on her…in their apartment. She ends up becoming the new roommate of three guys in a loft in Los Angeles.
She’s a little bit of an oddball, so it was a surprise that she dressed the part for being her roommate’s wedding date to make his ex-girlfriend jealous. She did so seamlessly when the occasion called for it and looked absolutely stunning in this purple chiffon mini dress with ruffle detailing. The cinched waist combined with the one-shouldered top just made the look that much more of a show stopper.
Her Retro Glam Look
Jess was always known for having more vintage-inspired looks than wearing clothes for the modern era. Don’t get us wrong; her take on the retro and vintage looks she would pull together were incredibly chic and perfect for her style.
This next outfit is proof of that. Wearing a lilac retro mini dress with bow details and sheer sleeves, Jess looks absolutely beautiful, and it’s obvious that she knows exactly how to pulls ’60s-era looks into the 21st-century with outfits like this.
Not everyone could pull off this look, but she does so perfectly, especially with her makeup look and hairstyle meshing effortlessly with her ensemble.
She Rocks A Lot Of Polka Dots
This casual outfit is quintessential Jess Day. She has her silky, ivory blouse with a peter pan collar, ruffle details down the torso, and it’s tucked into a polka-dotted mini skirt. Yes, this is Jess in her casual attire, which for most would be a perfect date night look.
But she is able to make this work for her daytime work outfits easily by pairing it with flats. Her natural makeup and hair down makes the outfit work for the day time even more so, and she looks so gorgeous donning it.
We only wish we could look this good going into work every day.
Grandma Chic
With Jess’ vintage-inspired style, she tends to wear a lot of outfits that could probably resemble something your grandma might wear. Yet, the way she styles her looks and brings it to a more modern era makes her outfits always look effortless and stunning.
This grandma chic outfit is no different. She is wearing a tea-length mint green dress with a yellow cardigan. That may sound simple enough, but it was an undeniably cute work outfit for her very first day working at this new school. Not to mention, she was juggling drama with Nick as well as helping Cece with her upcoming nuptials, all while looking as fashionable as can be.
Valentine’s Day Ready
This was honestly the sexiest outfit Jess wore in season 1 if you ask us. She was looking to find someone for the night on Valentine’s Day, and she definitely dressed to impress.
While out at a bar with Schmidt and Cece, she’s wearing a pair of high-waisted denim shorts with black tights underneath, a chunky belt, and a simple black form-fitting tee tucked in. She looks cool and fashionably chic, particularly with the addition of her leather knee-high boots on display.
It was no surprise that she caught the eye of a handsome man that night, even if her plans got thwarted in the end.
The Velvet Dress Of Our Dreams
In season 4 of New Girl, Jess is trying to impress the new teacher at her school when she invites him over for Thanksgiving. Once again, she wears the perfect outfit to try her hand at seduction.
This gorgeous red velvet dress with button detailing on the bust instantly makes her stand out. The beautiful red color against her pale skin makes this dress a winner and when you combine it with her black tights against the red mini dress only serves to make it one of the most stylish outfits on the show.
No wonder fans were dying to get their hands on a similar frock after seeing Jess don this.
A Royal Blue Stunner
Once again, a stunning bold color like this royal blue dress looks remarkable against Jess’ skin tone. She wore this outfit at an Indian dating convention her best friend, Cece, was attending, and she tagged along. While there, her roommates end up running into her, and hilarity ensues.
But even with all of the crazy antics going on, we couldn’t tear our eyes away from Jess and her dress. The royal blue mini halter dress with the chunky black belt is incredibly stylish. She finished off the look with a pair of simple black heels, and she quite honestly stole the show with this one.
Model Behavior
When Jess makes more of an effort to get along with her best friend, Cece’s model friends, she tries to look the part. In our opinion, her party girl model look here makes her fit on seamlessly with Cece and her friends.
Her black mini skirt with burn out striped tee and her hot pink and neon blue accessories are an instant hit. What’s not pictured, though, is her electric blue high heels that really make the entire ensemble a fan favorite.
This may not be Jess’ typical style, but she rocks this outfit with a coolness we’ve never seen before – and we like it.
Her Maid Of Honor Look
When Cece and Schmidt finally got married in the season 5 finale, Jess looked just as gorgeous as the bride, in our opinion. She wore a maxi length red dress with lace detailing and a plunging neckline that was tasteful yet showed off her feminine side perfectly.
She kept her hair simple in a side pony with a red hair accessory and finished it off with a beautiful natural glowing makeup look. She was the picture-perfect maid of honor, and if it wasn’t for Cece having her own fashion moment in her wedding dress, Jess might have stolen the show.
A Teacher Ready Ensemble
Who doesn’t love when Jess and Winston have a storyline together? The results are bound to be hilarious, and this episode was no different. Jess and Winston are obsessing over getting a bathtub and are trying to get their fellow roommates on board, but disaster ensues, of course.
Meanwhile, during Jess and Winston’s freak out over their bathtub mistakes, Jess is seen wearing this school appropriate outfit that is honestly beautiful. Her white wrap top with a navy blue A-line skirt, black tights, and flats bring us back to her effortlessly styled vintage looks, especially with her gray cardigan to complete it.
